Hi What I would do, is to either 1) upload the rpm to one of the servers, Then "ssh" in there, and install the rpm from the text-console. 2) ssh in to the server, and get the rpm with ftp from somewhere (SuSEs web maybe?) If You have high bandhwidth, You could do "ssh -X root@<server>", and You can then use kpackage etc.. all the graphical stuff.. The reason for getting the RPM to local server is that then you are certain that there is no network-hiccups etc, that could do some harm. Yast2 allows installing directly from web, but I would not recommend that.. Downloading the rpm is much better way. Jaska. On Monday 04 November 2002 18:52, Bill Parker wrote:
Hi All,
we have several servers at a colo facility, and it is located in Los Angeles, but I have a question, what happens if we need to load a RPM on those systems (example in this case would be webalizer, which is on the SuSE 8.0 CD's), now since the machines are there, and we are else where, how does one accomplish this feat?
